Showed my wife the last several pieces you posted, she said you're really good. 👍
I didn't get what I wanted from the green, yellow, blue, and brown "cords", so I just kept tinkering, trying things. Last step was the Mod Podge over the blue at the top, and lower right. Also sprayed with a matte finish so reduce the shine of the Mod Podge.
Thanks. I remember the first time it happened. I called my wife and we went to emergency care. The doctor there was pretty calm, and gave me some articles he printed out explaining opthalmic migraines. I was pretty nervous, because that first time it was scary. I thought I was having something like a stroke.
Color is violet, it is watercolor paint in tubes. I was not thinking of amethyst when I painted this. But I like that you saw that. I appreciate hearing that.
this is a variation on the "what I see when I close my eyes" pieces I've made (a few posted about 4 months ago), I altered the actual color to purple
Didn't quite work out how I was thinking, maybe a little more experimenting on this, and start over on a fresh paper.

It is not.
I use watercolor from tubes, similar to the acrylic paints that come in tubes. Like these https://www.hobbylobby.com/art-supplies/painting-supplies/watercolor-painting/watercolor-paint---24-piece-set/p/81073667
I'm what my sister-in-law calls a naive artist (I don't know the "proper" techniques so I do things my own way).
This shows the painting with the paper towel and the bits of sand I pulled off with tweezers, and the pile of sand I picked grains out from
Maybe she's really a little further back where the water is blue and deeper and she'll be fine. I like the way you have the water colors, it works really well.
Maybe the teeth and how the smile is a little more open mouth and oval.
I use water color paint from tubes, you can get stronger colors and mix these differently that typical watercolor sets.
This is what it looked like before I started adding blue and grey to the sky.
Thanks
